  ABSTRACT: In the traditional culture of Pakistan, women are subject to face many psychological and physical atrocities due to having a severe stereotypical perception of gender-roles. These discriminatory thoughts are expressed in the form of attitudes, traditions, norms, and beliefs. In this survey design, Gender Norm Attitude Scale has been administered being the most relevant and suitable scale to measure gender equity perceptions in Pakistan. It revealed that mostly people could not decide about their orientation towards gender; men were more inclined towards discriminatory beliefs than women; and educated ones (higher education) were less biased in their opinions than less or nearly educated (primary, high school and graduate) ones. Mostly, participants were highly educated (graduate), adults and vigilant; however, their undecidedness reveals that they are still not sure about possible side effects of gender inequity which is an alarming situation that would need future endeavours.
